Chapter 304 The Queen Mother

The new year is over and New Year's Eve is here again.

The sky was still dark, and the entire Xia Mansion was already busy.

I have been busy these past few days, and I have to go to the prison to punish the prisoners all day long. But on New Year's Eve, I can't be idle, and I can't go back to Xiajiazhuang to celebrate the New Year.

Not to mention that there will be a large court meeting on the Zhengdan Festival tomorrow, and all the civil and military officials of the seventh rank and above of the capital will attend. This New Year's Eve, we have to go to the palace to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager. I heard that the old lady wants to meet her great-grandson-in-law.

Xia Yuan put on his unicorn suit and hat, looked in the mirror, and sighed in his heart, my damn charm has nowhere to go.

At this time, there was a rare bustle in the Shoukang Palace. The country ruled the world with filial piety. On such a big day as New Year's Eve, it was natural to visit the Empress Dowager.

Zhu Xiurong entered the palace yesterday and was taught etiquette for a day. After all, it was New Year's Eve, so he couldn't be as casual as usual and had to strictly follow etiquette.

Looking at the Empress Dowager sitting at the top, she took a breath, held up the emerald crown with double phoenix beads on her head, wore a full dress, and followed the etiquette she had learned. She first took three steps forward, showing respect, and then stepped down.

Greetings, "Sun Chen Zhu Xiurong, pays homage to my great-grandmother."

"Okay, get up quickly, get up quickly."

Empress Dowager Zhou waved with a smile. When her great-granddaughter stood up, she asked Emperor Hongzhi next to her: "Isn't it time that the great-grandson's husband-in-law is here too?"

"It seems the time has come, or else Sun Chen will order"

Halfway through the words, a eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xia Xima has arrived."

"Please come in and talk." The Empress Dowager immediately spoke, looking out of the hall with a curious look on her face.

Not long after, a eunuch led Xia Yuan in. Along the way, Xia Yuan always felt that this place was less like a palace and more like a temple, with incense burners everywhere.

When I entered the main hall of Shoukang Palace, I looked at the old lady sitting at the top. She must be the Empress Dowager.

As soon as his thoughts changed, Xia Yuan took a deep breath and respectfully stepped forward and said: "I, the Minister of Economic Affairs, wash my horse Xia Yuan and pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Immediately, he saluted Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang one by one, "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor, and hello to the Empress."

The Empress Dowager waved with a smile, "Come on, please move forward and let the Aijia take a closer look at you."

Xia Yuan didn't hesitate and stepped forward simply.

"You go further."

"."

Xia Yuan took a few steps forward.

"If you move further, the Aijia can't see you clearly."

What kind of eyesight does this old lady have?

Thinking in his mind, Xia Yuan had no choice but to walk forward again. He didn't stop until he reached the Empress Dowager, who was so close that he couldn't go any further.

The Empress Dowager looked him up and down, but still couldn't see clearly, so she had to order: "Go and bring the Ai family's kuoku."

Love?

Who do you love?

Soon, a eunuch brought a brocade box, took out a lens from it, and presented it respectfully.

There are two round lenses with a gold frame in the middle connecting the two ends.

Isn't this horse just like glasses?

I saw the Empress Dowager holding the lens in her hand and holding it in front of her eyes. The eyes behind the lens suddenly enlarged several times, and then she began to look at Xia Yuan again.

With this posture, Xia Yuan always felt that the old lady was going to become Ultraman Seven.

"Handsome, so handsome."

"."

Sure enough, women look at face first.

It’s the same for women no matter how old they are.

The Empress Dowager took the kuoku off her eyes, and immediately became blind again. She sighed: "Thankfully, we have this kuoku. Otherwise, the Ai family would be like a blind man. It's just too troublesome and you have to hold it up when using it."

Xia Yuan couldn't help but gestured and said: "Then why don't you get two outriggers and put this kuji on your ears when using it?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager was startled for a moment, then laughed again, "Your method is good, but the earrings are thick and heavy, and they won't be crushed when placed on the ears."

Hearing this, Xia Yuan took another look at the glasses. It was indeed very thick, at least two centimeters thick. It was made of pure crystal. It was like those glasses with resin lenses in later generations. After wearing them for a long time, your ears would feel sore and tired.

If this pair of glasses were inlaid with two temples, it would really be unbearable to wear on the ears.

However, it may be possible to polish it and make it thinner, but if it is polished too thin, the degree will definitely not meet the requirements.

Two centimeters thick spectacle lenses indicate that the old lady’s

"Xia Qing's family, Xia Qing's family, Xia Qing's family"

The shouts finally brought Xia Yuan back to his senses. Emperor Hongzhi's face was already ugly. I am cautious in front of the Empress Dowager, but this kid is distracted?

"Xia Qing's family, what were you thinking about just now, and what were you thinking about the future of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing the name of Xia Qing's family, Xia Yuan didn't know that the emperor was already angry, so he said honestly: "To answer your Majesty's question, I was just thinking about how to make a pair of frivolous clothes to present to the Empress Dowager.

.”

Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi's face brightened slightly, but he couldn't help but said: "Although you are filial, don't be wildly imaginative. How could you create such a thing?"

But when she heard this topic, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but ask, "How can this Kuiji be made so thin and frivolous?"

"My Lady, could you please take a look at that Kuoji Rangchen?"

"What's wrong with this?" With that said, the Empress Dowager handed over the kouji.

It's very heavy, weighing less than half a catty.

Xia Yuan raised the dagger and looked at it with his eyes. With just one glance, he almost thrust it away. My mother, I'm afraid this is going to be 800 degrees.

"How about it? Do you think it's possible to make this frivolous Jiuji?" Although the old lady didn't have much hope for this matter, she still had a look of hope on her face.

Only those who can't see clearly know how anxious it is to see something clearly, not to mention that her eyesight was almost out of the range of being unable to see clearly, and she was clearly unable to see.

This bag is thick and heavy, and my hands feel sore when holding it, so I only use it occasionally.

If there is a thin and light crotch with two legs, she can wear it on her face without having to hold it up all day long.

Xia Yuan was not in a hurry to speak, and was thinking again in his mind, either to make a transparent resin, or to use some other transparent and light material instead. Otherwise, even if it is polished, it will not be able to be polished too thin. If it is too thin, the degree will naturally be reduced.

Even if you lower it, you still can't see clearly.

Looking at his appearance, Emperor Hongzhi knew that this guy was in trouble, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

I just helped you out of the siege, but you didn't want to get off the slope and you had to take a look at this beast.

It's okay now. This matter is completely unavoidable. If you can't make it and disappoint the Queen Mother, then I can't help you.

"My dearest lady, please give me some more time so that I can go back and think about it. I will definitely make you a portable bag when I go back. This can be regarded as a filial piety to you."

Something came to mind, and Xia Yuan suddenly gained confidence. He spoke with great certainty, making the old lady smile.

"Okay, okay, great-grandma is waiting for good news from you. Even if she can't get it, it doesn't matter. Great-grandma doesn't blame you."
